      Why is seahorse EARTH anyway?

      • NeoArkadia on July 9, 2023 11:19 pm

        Because Tatsunootoshigo was for some arbitrary 1999 reason.

      • Logic Bomb on July 9, 2023 11:23 pm

        Because the original was earth

      • thebaseddd2 on July 10, 2023 6:28 am

        The original is exactly what I was asking about. I hope the tcg finally imports him, the best meme.

    2. Motxmod1 on July 9, 2023 11:22 pm

      The Goblin is a retrain of Goblin Calligrapher

    3. Mighty Master on July 9, 2023 11:33 pm

      I wonder if this means every DBP from now on will have at least one nostalgia archetype. WISU had vanilla dinos and Hungry Burger, and this has some old vanillas too.

      • Eve on July 10, 2023 4:19 am

        Nah, Konami is just dying in terms of designing the new archetype with cool design. So they tried their best, even digging up a vanilla card as a reference for the new theme. Just like Vanquish Soul from WISU, the effect is decent, but the art is all garbage (at least in my opinion).

      • ... on July 10, 2023 6:35 am

        You know what’s far better than the industry trend of bland overly detailed art? The legendary rare Eve sighting!

    6. kevin2wart on July 9, 2023 11:54 pm

      Could you guys please not upload webp files? They don’t show up on mobile, at least on ios

      • NeoArkadia on July 10, 2023 11:54 am

        Our computers insist the files are .Webps, blame Google for propagating the format.

    7. me on July 10, 2023 12:08 am

      would love to see those extra deck monsters netherskull is refering his shuffling targets

    8. Melina on July 10, 2023 12:17 am

      Wow this archetype is a Big pile of crap

      • Harrison Hill on July 10, 2023 12:42 am

        ?? not even close. it certainly doesn’t seem crazy good but it still seems pretty solid. I think it could be ok. Just by looking at it there is a 1 card to the big guy which only gets better cause u start w/ 5 cards so u can supplement it w/ more. Definitely not bad by any means. it’s midrange so it may seem weak at first but in practice i could see this being rly solid

      • Game King on July 10, 2023 1:36 am

        Oh?

      • Michael Lucas on July 10, 2023 3:46 pm

        What makes it crap?

    9. DRAGO on July 10, 2023 1:59 am

      I’m noticing a bit of leading text here. “Deck OR EXTRA DECK”, “level 2 or lower”, etc. Seems there’s definitely at least a level 2 and an extra deck monster they’re holding onto (which, given the spread level distribution and lack of tuner, will either be a link or fusion unless a 2 or 4 tuner is revealed).

      • Endeavor on July 10, 2023 5:54 am

        Yeah they might give them a Link just because that’s what every deck ends up getting nowadays to become stronger, but they care about level so it’d be as unlikely as an xyz. Between a fusion and a synchro instead, I’d bet on the former just because the latter wouldn’t fit the nostalgia effect of the theme, but I’d like to give you a deeper hypothesis. Like always, there’s still one last card missing but, considering its positioning and all the monsters being in descending order of level, it’ll either be another level 3 or 5 monster or, as you said, a level 4 one. Therefore, I searched for every level 2 vanilla having a fusion with such a monster and no relation with any other theme, and here’s what I found: Hinotama Soul and Monster Egg fuse into Charubin the Fire Knight, Wings of Wicked Flame and Tyhone fuse into Mavelus, Mega Thunderball and Ocubeam fuse into Kaminari Attack. However, considering that the only card here to mention the ED is a made-up monster itself, they might as well make a made-up fusion, or a made-up synchro and randomly turn an old vanilla into a tuner.

      Why not zombie?😢

    11. Endeavor on July 10, 2023 4:30 am

      I NEED A REMAKE OF MEDA BAT

    12. Snivy on July 10, 2023 4:57 am

      So is the boss monster a Memento or not? The article seems to have been edited to change its name, but there’s no clarification.

      • Sweatyfellr on July 10, 2023 7:08 am

        The boss monster is “Mementolal”, which has “Memento” still in there, so yes, he is a Memento monster.

      • Snow on July 10, 2023 7:34 am

        If part of the word is within another word, it counts as being part of the archetype. As ‘Memento’ is part of ‘Mementolal’ it is a ‘Memento’ card.

    13. Zenon on July 10, 2023 9:08 am

      Does this mean red-eyes zombie deagon has a bew competitor for the zombie world?

    14. Jhonny on July 10, 2023 11:44 am

      I cant understand cause it not zombie
